We've heard the words of Aaron.

He spoke the truth in these things, but great and small.

Hello and welcome to episode 170 of Effectively Wild A Baseball Podcasts from Fangras, presented

by our Patreon supporters.

My name is Ben Lindbergh, I'm a writer for the Ringer joined by Jeff Sullivan of Amprah.

Hello.

It's Draft Day, which is getting in the way of what I really want to do, which is just

watch all of the homeruns there and judge hit this weekend, giggle for half an hour or

so, and then call it a day.

There's some long homeruns.

There was a debate in the Ringer Slack about how much we should penalize Aaron Judge

for doing all this damage against the Orioles and bad Orioles pitching.

If you look at some of these homeruns, I mean, he's hit.

What is it?

Eight homers against the Orioles so far this year.

It's like one of the all-time greatest performances by a single player against a single

team, I think, already.

And if you look at like the 495-foot one that he hit on Sunday, that was like the meatballiest,

meatball you've ever seen.

And Wellington Castillo, the catcher was like cringing as Judge was swinging like before

he even made contact.

He was like looking away like I don't want to see this.
